When I rotate images that have been imported to the library or loaded via loader and try to rotate or scale them using the interface or actionscript they become sort of pixelated and blocky. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, does anyone know why it happens or how to compensate for it?
View 3 RepliesI have imported two images from PS to Flash in PNG format. They are the perfect size and ready to use (i.e. not scaling these images). When I convert them to movies, the animation looks great in Flash, but when I export them they only look good when I have the HTML settings set to "Best". If I don't have this setting on, it looks like crap (i.e. very jagged). These are photos btw, not vector images or shapes.
The reason I want this to be optimized without the control of HTML is because I am creating web banners for advertising. When I submit my swf file to the webmaster, they basically will embed the swf with whatever settings they choose. If they don't have the setting on "Best", the file looks like crap. Allow smoothing is on.
1. When I import the PNG image, can I safely select JPG compression via the Bitmap Properties? Or do I need to keep it as lossless? If I select JPG, I can considerably reduce the filesize, although I'm not sure if that causes the images to look jagged as well.
2. Is there anything I can do outside the HTML settings to display my animations without the jagged edges? I need to keep my filesize under 50Kb which is pretty hard when working with photos and animation etc.
I created a flash image gallery for my site but the images look pixelated. I really don't like the way they look. Im fairly new to web design and very new to flash.
View 3 RepliesI've used AS2.0 to build my site. I have several .jpgs that I'm loading dynamically on my flash site from my server. For some reason only some of the .jpgs are loading pixelated. I've tried to look up solutions to this, but I'm not exactly sure where a quality=best or smoothing=true script should be placed. And I'm equally as puzzled as to why only some of my .jpgs are loading pixelated? This is very frustrating, this is the code I'm using to load my images:
loadMovie("Wave.jpg", _root.image_box_9);
I have scaled down some JPG's in flash and they look fine but when I publish to a SWF they look pixelated. I've read other threads and done what is suggested i.e. Smoothing on or off, JPG's instead of PNG's and quality at 100% with no success. I know that Flash isn't a resolution based application and bitmaps are but the images look fine in the Flash IDE.
View 6 RepliesI'm creating a very basic tween of an image which scales down to half it's size. It looks fine in Flash but when published the scaled down image looks like crap, all pixelated. I've done this hundreds of times in other versions with no problems except now. The publish setting for jpeg is set at 100% etc...
View 1 Replieshow to import photoshop images to flash without the image looking pixelated or blurry?When the flash movie is exported as a swf and embedded to html, the images look blurry and pixelated and not sharp like they are in photoshop.It is not the size because I resized the images in flash before i imported the images into flash. The flash document size is 72 dpi would this be the problem?
View 2 RepliesAs is shown in the image below, I have a set of dynamic textfields... when I change the colour of the text to white the text becomes a horrible choppy messy.The code used to generate the textfields is:
private function drawOption(option:MovieClip, state:String)
{
switch (state)
[code].....
Trying to create an isometric game but unable to get my images to sort dyanmically, as those tricky little movie clips wander about the screen. The theory behind it is to order myArray by the .y value (so smallest number is called first), and then remove and then add the clips again according to that.[code]
View 9 RepliesI'm trying to build a simple slideshow in AS3, what I have so far is I load all my images into an array and place them on the stage in order at index 0 so the first image in the array comes out on top, in terms of stacking. As the slideshow plays it takes the top image off the stack and sends it to the back. This works fine. Where I'm having problem is if the user uses the thumbnail interface to skip ahead or backwards in by multiple images, how to tell my 'stack' of images the new order and sort them the right way.

View 1 RepliesI have an array that is structured like so.
[Code]....
Normally, I'd just like to sort the array alphabetically using the name field, which is easy enough using the following code. However, I'd like to create a radio button called 'loadedRadioButton' and when it's click on, I'd like to sort the array on the loaded value first(any items with loaded=true should be at the top, sorted alphabetically), then afterwards, any other items with loaded=false, sorted alphabetically should follow afterwards, how can I do it?

View 1 RepliesWhen I get a collection back from the service tier, I create an ArrayCollection and apply a sort. When I add an item to the collection later on, the sort is still in place? It seems to be the case. I thought I was only sorting it once, not applying a sort that will stick??Here is the method for adding an item:
private function onAddNewClick():void

I am making a simple little movie that reads an XML file, gets the url of the most recent nodes image and displays it.I have everything working, but the image gets pixelated when it gets sized down, and I cannot figure out how to enable smoothing with my code.I am new to A.S. so I am fumbling my way through something this advanced. From my reading I think I cannot enable smoothing because I am using a UILoader to display the image?[code]

View 4 RepliesFirst i made the images with drop shadows in Illustrator and they looked fine there. When i copied them in to Flash they became pixelated.
I then got rid of the drop shadow in Illustrator and re-made it directly in Flash using the Filter/Drop Shadow property. It still is coming out very pixelated, even on "high quality" setting.
For some reason only some of the .jpgs on my flash site that are being loaded dynamically are loading pixelated. I've tried to look up solutions to this, but I'm not exactly sure where a quality=best or smoothing=true script should be placed.

I'm trying to scale down some vectors that have a z position set (other than zero) and they are becoming pixelated. So flash is obviously bitmapping the vectors.
Does anyone know of a work around to stop the pixelation?

// make the items.

I've got a FLA file making an animated banner. When I export it as an animated GIF, the background (which originally is a solid color) has either dots or crosses making up the color. I've tried different settings such as dithering, changing the palette but have had no luck. And I'm using one of the 256 colors. Using a FLA that did have a good solid bg converted animated GIF, I tried to export that one as well and it comes up with the same problem. So that means it's not the color/fla that is wrong, but is my exporting to animated gif method.
Attached is how the background turns out:

I am facing a problem: graphic pixelated issue. I have created some images in photoshop and want to import to flash. However i realized from my fren that it has got to do with photoshop which is in raster type while flash it in vector style that's why it appears to be pixelated in flash.
View 2 RepliesI have created an image in photoshop (96dpi, same as my monitor) and imported it as a png into flash where it becomes a bitmap. Once I had imported the image I went to library and allowed smoothing on the image and set it to lossless. It performs a motion tween and simply flys from one side of my movie to the other. However, the whole way it appears pixelated. I had done this on a previous movie with the same image, just with a different animation and I had the same problem. But in this case the 'allow smoothing' worked. Not this time though.
